Bach speaks to us in his work in such clear terms that we may quite well call these fugues poems. (
) These have warmth, quiet joy, love. And running through all the poems, dressed in different guises, is the main theme, creating order, binding the work as a whole together: it is a safe bond in all its diversity. Over all lies the proximity of death. (Enzio Forsblom) In this new recording, Bachs final magnum opus is played by Aapo Häkkinen on a harpsichord built in 1614 by Andreas Ruckers the Elder (1579?1652) and which belonged to the composer John Blow (16491708), organist of Westminster Abbey and former teacher of Henry Purcell. A tradition exists that G.F. Handel had also played this harpsichord.
